Horizon Euratom: Nuclear User Facility Access
Funds a consortium of infrastructure operators that gives researchers free access to nuclear safety and radiation-protection facilities across Europe.
Big nuclear research facilities are expensive, and most labs and universities don't have their own materials-testing reactor or hot cell. This topic pays for other researchers to use the ones that already exist. It funds a Coordination and Support Action — a network, not a single lab — that runs an open-call scheme giving researchers and research teams from EU Member States and Associated Countrie…
Running an open-call scheme that gives researchers and research teams from EU Member States and Associated Countries transnational and virtual access to nuclear research infrastructure, at no cost to the researcher. The consortium organises the calls, supports experiment design and safety analysis, and passes funding through to facility operators as grants to third parties, capped at €300,000 each. In scope: infrastructure for nuclear safety, security, safeguards, radioactive waste management and radiation protection. Fusion research is excluded — it is funded through a separate European Partnership.
